Riello UPS, a manufacturer of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Vycon, a flywheel energy storage systems designer and manufacturer.
The relationship allows Riello UPS to supply Voltage Direct Connect (VDC) flywheel in Europe, the Middle East & Africa (EMEA).
The VDC flywheel will complement the traditional lead acid battery sets used in Riello's range of UPS systems for protecting mission critical applications.
The VDC flywheel provides a reliable, low-maintenance alternative (or addition) to battery sets.
During a power failure or disruption, the Vycon VDC flywheel provides a clean, short supply of DC power to a Riello UPS system until the source of power is restored – either through the mains, an emergency generator, or for extra resilience a battery set.
Roberto Facci, commercial director for Riello UPS, said: "The agreement with Vycon strengthens the range of solutions that Riello UPS is capable of offering its clients.
"The technology of the VDC, due to its reliability, reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and environmental sustainability, is of great interest to numerous business sectors, from finance and banking, healthcare, computer services and data centres.
"The integration of these systems with Riello UPS solutions will therefore constitute a real advantage for our clients".
